Looking at the small skeleton in front of him, Li Xuan thought for a while and asked: "Are you going to use this dragon claw as a weapon, or are you going to wait for me to forge a weapon for you in the future?"
"Giggle..." He raised his empty little hand and pointed at the dragon claw in Li Xuan's hand.
Looking at the little skeleton's choice, Li Xuan couldn't help but frown and continued: "This thing is too stupid, not sharp at all, and you have to saw it for a while to kill. Are you sure?"
"Giggle" the little skeleton nodded.
"..."
After a few breaths of silence, Li Xuan still handed the dragon claw in his hand to the little skeleton, although he didn't know what the dragon claw would become in the future.
Li Xuan is no longer surprised by everything that happens in this world... If it were in his previous life, he would definitely be shocked!
The Corpse Refining Art can refine bones...the materials used to refine corpses can also be refined by materials...half a bucket of blood is not enough for the small bones to absorb...situations that I had never dreamed of occurred one after another!
"well."
Looking at the moonlight, Li Xuan sighed softly. It seemed that he couldn't sleep tonight.
Taking the corpse from Little Skeleton, Li Xuan took it back to the tent.
After a meticulous search, Li Xuan got four gold coins, plus sixteen silver coins. As for the rest... nothing!
Sitting on the ground, Li Xuan pondered with a grimace... Why are all the bandits in this world so poor?! Forget the last one, you are a team after all! Why are you all... ugh!
Black iron, precious herbs in the later stage, materials needed for body refining, better alchemy furnaces, forging useful weapons...and formation stones. There are all these, when can I afford them?!!
"Giggle..."
Attracted by the movement of the small skeleton, Li Xuan looked around.
"What are you playing for?"
Seeing the small bones attached to the corpse, Li Xuan called out.
"???"
What Li Xuan didn't expect was that the little skeleton seemed to be "deaf" at this time and didn't respond to his words?!
Staring at the little skeleton and getting up, Li Xuan slowly walked to it.
"You are……"
At close range, Li Xuan finally saw clearly what the little skeleton was doing! It attached its own bones to the wound of the corpse. And the corpse shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It's actually absorbing blood!!
Li Xuan was so shocked by this situation that he didn't know what to say.
In an instant, the first corpse shriveled up, its loose skin hanging on the skeleton inside.
"Giggle"
"After eating", the little skeleton stood up and walked towards the second corpse...
Looking at the small skeletons, Li Xuan said nothing. After a while, the three warm corpses became dry...
After doing all this, the little skeleton came to Li Xuan holding the dragon claw, seemingly waiting for the next instructions.
"..."
Staring at the empty eye sockets of the little skeleton, Li Xuan couldn't help but frown.
Such a sorcery that sucks people's essence and blood is different from all the magic arts that I know. Moreover, this horrifying practice would have been looked down upon by others in the previous life. Once discovered, people will definitely be hunted down by both black and white.
.
After all, no one wants to be someone else's "nutrient" even if they die.
"..."
After a long silence, Li Xuan finally gave the order: "From now on, absorbing human blood must be done under my supervision!"
"Giggle"
Hearing this, the little skeleton nodded, indicating that he understood.
"..."
At this moment, Li Xuan seemed to understand something...
Speaking of the little skeleton, the first day he saw himself, he was fed by his own essence and blood.
Maybe... this is also Little Skeleton's own way of cultivation. But in the Corpse Refining Art, there is no description of zombies sucking blood!
Scratching his head, Li Xuan stopped thinking. As of now, the small skeleton is just a "test product". As for what "weird" it will become in the future, he really can't make a conclusion...
Putting down his hands, Li Xuan began to deal with the three corpses on the ground. After all... he didn't intend to show these corpses to anyone. In everything, he had to be cautious!
After a while, Li Xuan dug a hole. He threw the three "light" corpses into it and then covered it with soil.
After doing all this, it was early morning and the sky was getting bright.
Picking up the alchemy furnace, Li Xuan left without saying a word. The top priority now is to find herbs and refine the Foundation-Consolidating Pill for himself and Kailin! The little skeleton followed Li Xuan silently and never left.
While walking in the forest, Li Xuan picked several herbs from time to time and put them in his mouth to taste the medicinal properties. Whenever he thought they were useful, he picked a few herbs and kept them.
Li Xuan knew very little about this world. He had never seen any of the plants needed for alchemy.
Also...the world I had in my previous life was completely different from the Qim continent!
This means that not only practice, but also alchemy needs to be started from scratch... The important thing here refers to starting from the identification of herbs!
Fortunately, in my previous life, I had a very wide range of knowledge, so I was good at identifying the properties of plants. Otherwise... I would be too clever to make a meal without straw just by holding an alchemy furnace.
After walking around for a long time, it was not until the afternoon that Li Xuan stopped with a large pile of herbs in his arms. Behind him, the little skeleton also held a pile of herbs in his arms...
"Let's do this for now and try to see if the Solid Foundation Pill can be made."
Putting down the herbs and taking out the alchemy furnace, Li Xuan muttered to himself and found some dry wood to light a fire. When the temperature of the flame reached the standard, he placed the alchemy furnace on it.
After preheating for a period of time, Li Xuan opened the lid of the alchemy furnace, picked out a few herbs and threw them in.
At the same time, Li Xuan moved his right palm closer. The slowly released qi machine wrapped the alchemy furnace to explore the refining degree of the herbs inside. In this way, every once in a while, Li Xuan dropped a few herbs.
In the alchemy furnace, the essence of the herbal medicine is turned into liquid and extracted at high temperature. In order to prevent the tempered liquid from evaporating, Li Xuan separated several strands of qi to wrap it up. In the holes below the alchemy, the useless waste residue of the herbal medicine was automatically
discharge.
Three quarters of an hour later...
"Bang!!!"
As there was a muffled sound in the alchemy furnace, and a puff of white smoke rising into the sky... Li Xuan's first pot of Gu Jidan - the furnace exploded!
When the alchemy was failed, Li Xuan ignored the boiling heat of the alchemy furnace and directly picked it up with his hands and observed it carefully.
Fortunately... we only lost some herbs and the alchemy furnace was not damaged!
"call……"
Putting down the alchemy furnace, Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief... If even the alchemy furnace was destroyed, he wouldn't have a place to cry! After all, he only has one of this thing now.
After pouring out the three waste elixirs in the alchemy furnace, Li Xuan picked up one at random and began to observe...
"It has uneven cold and heat, with cold at the top and hot at the bottom, and the yin and yang are reversed... It seems that I put a little more cold-attribute herbs." In just a few breaths, Li Xuan found out the main reason for the failure of this alchemy.
Putting down the black waste elixir in his hand, Li Xuan calmed down and began to refine the second pot...
This time, Li Xuan paid special attention to the ratio of various herbs and tried to prevent the situation from happening last time.
But even so, the second pot of elixir still failed...
Although there is no explosion furnace, the condition of the waste elixirs is not much better than that of the previous pot. They are all the same black and useless. The only difference is that this pot produced four waste elixirs.
Pour out the waste elixir... eh?! Where is the waste elixir from the previous pot?!!!
Holding the upturned alchemy furnace sideways, Li Xuan saw a ghost! The three waste pills in the pot next to him were gone!!
I hurriedly turned around and looked... Damn, the case has been solved... It's a small skeleton!
The body of the little skeleton was pitch black, and you could tell at a glance...it acted on its own initiative, crushing the waste elixir, getting some water from somewhere, mixing it, and applying it to its own bones.
"..."
Looking at the black and white "dirty" bones of the small skeleton, Li Xuan felt dizzy for a while, thinking that the Ji Ji Dan only works on flesh and blood! Not to mention flesh and blood, you don't even have meridians! There is only a pile of bones.
What's the point of using Guji Dan?! And you're also using Waste Dan?! Besides, Guji Dan is taken orally, and I've never seen it used to "cover bones"!
But after thinking about it, Li Xuan didn't say anything in the end. After all, people can't use these waste elixirs... Throw them away and throw them away.
Even if the waste elixir is useless to the little skeleton, presumably... it should not be damaged by "eating" it.
Behind him, Little Skeleton looked at Li Xuan without saying a word, thinking that he acquiesced to his actions...
After turning around and cleaning up the alchemy furnace, Li Xuan began to summarize the experience of failure and began to refine the third pot of solid foundation elixir.
After a while, the third pot of Gujidan failed.
The fourth pot of Gujidan failed...
The fifth pot...
The sixth pot...all failed!
When the seventh pot failed and he was preparing to start the eighth pot, Li Xuan found that there were not enough herbs.
"Go find some... Haha! Why are you like this?!"
Holding the remaining herbs, Li Xuan turned around and started laughing as soon as he opened his mouth.
Because the little skeleton at this moment...has become a "black" baby! The originally white bones are now extremely black!
There is no need to think about it. These black things are all the elixirs that I have refined before!
On average, it produces three to six waste elixirs per pot. So far, it has used about thirty waste elixirs to smear itself!
There are so many waste elixirs, if they were all normal elixirs, it would be enough for one person to eat the entire solid phase and Qi refining phase... there is probably still some left.
"Go find some of this herbal medicine, go ahead."
Holding back his laughter, Li Xuan shook some herbs in his hand and gave instructions.
"Giggle..."
The little skeleton recognized it for a while, and then stood up. Because the bones all over the body were covered in waste elixir, the sound when it stood up was also different from before... it had a slightly sticky feeling.
Watching the little black skeleton go away, Li Xuan was not idle, but thought about the various reasons for his previous failure...
Improper combination of herbs, poor control of Qi, temperature too high or too low...
Two quarters of an hour later, the little skeleton came back with an arm full of various herbs.
"Thanks a lot."
As he spoke, Li Xuan's hand that wanted to touch the little skeleton's head was fixed in mid-air... Looking at its "sticky" skull, he really couldn't bring himself to touch it...
